Meet the South Miami Heights Team Behind Sightline Windows & Doors South Miami Heights

We’re the crew that shows up in South Miami Heights with a measured survey, a uniform, and a license number you can verify before we touch your door frame. Every person on this page has passed a background check, carries their credentials, and works under the same rule we started with in 2012: the measurement and the quote are the same document. No exceptions, no surprises.

Our People

Sonia Raman, Owner

I started Sightline in 2012 after watching too many homeowners in Miami-Dade get a verbal “ballpark” that somehow doubled once the crew was halfway through the job. That still happens, and it still makes me tired. I run every measured survey myself when the opening is complicated - custom geometry, impact-rated retrofits in older block construction, anything where the rough opening doesn’t match the plans. I keep the manufacturer spec sheets for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux on my tablet, and I cross-reference U-factor and SHGC ratings against what the Florida Energy Code actually requires for your exposure direction. I also bake aggressively mediocre banana bread that I bring to final walkthroughs. Nobody has complained yet, though I’ve seen some polite chewing.

Marcus T., Lead Technician

Marcus has been installing impact-rated windows and doors in South Miami Heights and the broader Miami-Dade corridor for fourteen years. He holds a Miami-Dade County contractor certification in glazing installation and specializes in high-rise balcony door retrofits where the existing frame is embedded in post-tension concrete. Marcus will tell you exactly why your old sliding door is binding - usually it’s not the rollers, it’s the subsill deflection from the original install - and he’ll show you the laser level reading that proves it. Off the job, he restores vintage Honda motorcycles and has strong opinions about torque specifications that extend to his personal life.

Elena V., Senior Installer

Elena joined us in 2019 after six years with a PGT-certified installation partner in Homestead, where she logged roughly 2,400 impact window installs in CBS construction. She runs our apprentice training for proper shimming and fastening sequences, and she’s the person who catches when a rough opening is out of square by more than the 1/4-inch that manufacturer tolerances allow. Elena speaks Spanish and English on every job site, which matters in South Miami Heights where the homeowner, the HOA inspector, and the city permit reviewer may each need a different version of the same specification. She has a toddler who has already learned to hand her the correct Phillips head.

Darnell K., Service Coordinator

Darnell answers the phones that ring at 11 PM when a homeowner in South Miami Heights notices water intrusion around a fresh install during a summer storm. He’s been with Sightline since 2017, and he knows which of our eight manufacturer lines carries a specific sash profile, which CSI code applies to your permit, and whether your HOA’s architectural review board has already approved the glazing pattern you’re requesting. Darnell schedules every measured survey, confirms every arrival window, and follows up with the photo record link within 24 hours of job completion. He also coaches youth basketball in Richmond Heights and applies the same patience to explaining mullion configurations to anxious homeowners.

Javier R., Apprentice Installer

Javier started with us in 2023 after completing the Miami-Dade College construction trades program. He works every job with either Marcus or Elena, and he’s not allowed to sign off on a final inspection until he’s demonstrated proper sealant application, flashing integration, and impact-rated anchoring on at least 100 openings. Javier already knows the difference between a CWS WindPact and a PGT WinGuard fastening schedule, and he’s the one who climbs the ladder to verify head flashing on second-story installs because he still trusts his knees. He is unnecessarily competitive about who can load a job van most efficiently.

One Standard, Every Job

The Haven Standard governs every installation we complete across our network, and it travels with the crew, not with a corporate handbook that stays in an office. Have it in writing - your measured survey and your quote are the same document, signed before any work starts. Arrive on schedule - we confirm your window the day before, and we call if traffic on the Palmetto or the Turnpike shifts our timing. Verified crews - the license number you receive belongs to the person at your door, background-checked and uniformed, not a rotating subcontractor pool. Evidence on every job - the photo record documents condition before, progress during, and completion after, and you receive a link to every image. No surprises - the written price before work starts is the price on the final invoice, because Haven Clause 1 is the whole point.

We’ve installed more than 18,000 windows and doors since 2012. Every one had a written price first and a photo record at the end. If it’s not done right, we make it right - the 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract, not offered as a courtesy after the fact. That’s the standard Sonia Raman built this company on, and that’s what every person on this page enforces in South Miami Heights.

Call (786) 481-0414 to schedule your free measured survey. You’ll keep the document, and the written quote that follows will match it exactly.
